We are really fucked.
• AI has become dangerous (not because it is brilliant but because it has poor judgement, a constitutional inability to reliably follow rules, a surfeit of brute force and too much access to the internet and system permissions).
• OpenAI is practically on crime spree, hinting at things to come, and Trump is doing nothing about it.
• The media is too caught up in fairytales about extinction.
Everybody is talking; nobody is really doing anything.
And it’s only going to get worse.
